“It’s unfortunate that
the other MPs are not here. I would have liked them to be here so that they see
what Chitando is doing. Right now we are looking at 1 200 bags of cement that
he donated to the constituency for use in the various projects that he has
initiated. This donation alone means the MP has parted ways with $120 000 from
his own pocket for this cement to be here.

“As a senator, I have
the privilege of moving around the constituency assessing what is happening on
the ground and I can confidently say that the work being done by our MP is
greater than that being done by all the other MPs combined,” said Matuke.

He said the people of
Gutu Central were yet to realise what a selfless leader Chitando was, adding
that there was no doubt that he will be re-elected in 2023.

“I derive some pride
from the fact that I am the one who introduced him to you. He is the Minister
of Mines and a very busy man. The president wants to see him all the time so it
is remarkable that he still spares some moments to come and be with his own
people,” he said.

Matuke himself donated
hundreds of kilogrammes of rice to villagers, saying he was helping to fulfill
President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s wish to see all families having enough to eat.
